The basics of showing has not changed and as for learning ring tricks, that is not what this thread is about.
Donna, you are right, the more you go the more you learn. I totally agree, yorkies are not an easy breed to show but I will still get out there and do my best with what knowledge I have. If I get out handled, which I am sure will happen, then so be it. I show when I can because I enjoy it and I do know some of the sneaky little tricks handlers use but I would rather win honestly than to know I won because of some sneaky little trick. |
See, once again the point is being missed when I say little tricks it could be regarding brushing your dog the right way, how to distract your dog from being interested in what's going on in another ring and redirecting his attention back to my instructions and when I say tricks I'm not talking sneaky little tricks LOL...those were your words LOL...when I win it is based honestly...little tricks means a better way to position your dog, maybe playing with him in the ring to get him comfortable...I've learned all that by watching the handlers in the ring...a different way of stacking a yorkie, maybe how to place your hands in the lead....I don't see that as sneaky little tricks...guess I am honest when it comes to that because I sure wasn't implying it to be sneaky to get a win LOL...
